Lucy posted a shot yesterday of the modern riverside along the banks of the River Seine in Paris, so today by contrast, a shot from me of the rather older riverside along the River Thames in Henley-on-Thames.
This was another of the places that I visited while staying with Louise, and it was a fascinating place to explore, with a range of old interesting buildings and lovely riverside walks.
Henley-on-Thames is also popular with TV companies. An episode of Inspector Morse was filmed at a brewery here (visible above the bridge), and several episodes from Midsomer Murders use the town - there is even a Midsomer Murders town trail to follow to see places featured in the series.
I had a lovely walk south of the town to a nearby picturesque lock, and then I walked north for several miles to Hambledon Lock, another attractive location used by TV companies.
It was a really nice day and I left with fond memories of a lovely place.
I don't think I've seen this view before and I'm delighted to see that there is very little that would identify it as a modern photograph - a lovely, timeless view.
Thank you Bob, but this is actually in southern England, taken when I was visiting Louise. I've yet to make my visit to France to see Lucy, but no doubt there will be lots of photos taken there!
Thank you Therese, there are some lovely views along the river.
